\n

We use the information we collect strictly to provide and improve the TeamUp experience, including:

TeamUp uses an internal, algorithmic scoring system to suggest potential teammates based on shared skills, mutual interests, same college/workplace, and mutual connections. We do not send your profile data to external AI providers (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) for these recommendations. All matching logic executes internally.

\n

\n

Your profile information is public to other users on the platform to facilitate team building. We do not sell your personal information. We may share necessary technical telemetry with our trusted service providers.

\n

\n

We utilize the following third-party services to operate TeamUp:

\n

\n
• Supabase: For secure authentication, database hosting, and storage.
\n
• Vercel & PostHog: For website analytics, speed insights, and telemetry to improve performance.
\n

\n

\n

We implement Role-Level Security (RLS) in our database and utilize secure authentication methods to protect your data. However, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security.

\n

\n

We retain your profile data and activity logs for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Specific retention schedules depend on the nature of the data and legal requirements.

\n

\n

You can update your profile information at any time through your account settings. If you wish to request data export or account deletion, please contact our support team.
